About this listen
Explore the three fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—to understand how energy moves through our universe. This podcast dives into the Debye model of lattice vibrations and explains why diamond, with its strong covalent 3D network, conducts heat five times better than copper while remaining a stubborn electrical insulator. From the cooling of high-power satellite electronics to the way clouds form through convective loops, we unpack the physics that keeps our world—and our gadgets—at the right temperature.
